Sollich KG of Germany is the world’s leading supplier of chocolate enrobing, tempering, cooling, forming equipment as well as a variety of other associated equipment. For the past 80 years Sollich's team has pioneered research and development and set quality standards in designing and manufacturing chocolate and confectionery process machinery. It is their expertise and experience that have made Sollich's name synonymous with reliability and precision.

 

The success story of the Sollich KG began in 1920 when Robert Sollich founded a bakery/cake shop in Ratibor (Upper Silesia, Germany). 8 years later, in 1928, he invented the first vacuum sugar-boiling machine: the SOLLKOCH. This invention started what later became a full-scale manufacturing plant for machines for the candy industry. The portfolio expanded continuously with the development of the first continuous vacuum boiler – the SUPER-SOLLKOCH – among its highlights. Another patent was granted for a starchless moulding system for fondant and other soft candy products.

 

The company was relocated and reestablished in Bad Salzuflen in 1950. That was also the start of research and development of chocolate machinery. The invention and patenting of the circulation tempering process for the feeding of coating and moulding systems was groundbreaking and changed the chocolate industry overnight.

 

With Helmut Sollich, son of Robert Sollich, taking over the company in 1966, Sollich became the largest manufacturer of chocolate enrobing systems worldwide and has since then continuously proven its position as a market leader for tempering machines, enrobing systems for chocolate, compound and caramel, as well as candy and cereal bar forming equipment and praline forming machines.

The history of Catta 27 starts in 1927, with the creation of Cattabriga, first Company in the world for automatic ice cream machines, having patented the same year the self-cream maker, the first automated system to be placed in the market.

 

The 70's saw enter Cattabriga Cocchi's family, with the first of two brothers, Gino, who at first started development work in the crafts sector and semi-industrial sector, and subsequently totally in the industrial one.

 

Growth continued over the years with the input of the second brother, Giuliano, that bringing back the pioneering spirit would explore new markets not known at the time such as Asia and India.

 

The turning point for the Company arrived in the 90s, when the industrial sector of Cattabriga, was bought out by the two brothers, this led after short time to the birth of Brand Catta 27.

 

After years of success and acquisitions, Catta 27 is today under the leading of Giuliano Cocchi as a new company that, building on its heritage and important business partnerships, is renewed constantly maintaining inside that spirit of innovation that has always distinguished Itself over the years.
